Why Organic Clothing is Better for your Skin?
What you wear is as important as what you eat. This is what regular clothes are doing to your skin, and what organic clothes do differently.
The largest organ of your body is your skin and you wrap it in a piece of cloth 12 to 16 hours a day. The majority of the population does not give a second thought to what is in that cloth. They should. The traditional clothes undergo pesticide-covered crops, artificial dyeing, formaldehyde finishes and bleaching solutions before it reaches you. Majority of that does not completely bleach. And the result? Irritated skin, eczema breakouts, allergic reactions and rashes that appear out of thin air. Ayurkruti believes that what you wear is equally important as what you eat and this is why all things that we produce begin with plants and not chemicals.
What Synthetic Fabrics are Doing to your Skin?
Non-organic cotton has residues of pesticides. Fabrics are made wrinkleproof by the use of formaldehyde. On repeated exposure, synthetic azo dyes enter the skin barrier. Polyester loses microplastics every time it is washed. You can not see any of this but you can feel it through your skin.
How is Organic Fabric Different?
Chemical-free by design
No pesticide residue. No synthetic finishes. All you have to do is wear the clean, plant-based fibre against your skin.
Breathing and adjusting to the temperature
Hemp, bamboo and organic cotton are natural fibres that enable air circulation and adjust to the temperature of the body. Less trapped heat, perspiration and irritation.
Hypoallergenic
Organic fibres are naturally soft without any chemical treatment to modify their surface. Perfect for infants and when one has delicate or eczematous skin.
